Thanks!

I will look into insulating...are those styrofoam panels worth while
for insulating? Or should I get into the wall and stuff it with the
pink stuff?

I've cleaned it really with bleach and TSP, rinsed well and am ready to
prime and paint. I'm going to rearrange things so the cabinet dosen't
sit against the wall and block air flow, and open the window when I
cook. That should keep the humidity down.

The kitchen does not have a vent over the stove...there was one, but
handy guy covered it up when he installed a dishwasher where the stove
used to go. Now the stove has to go on an inside wall. I would like to
put a range hood over the stove, but it would need to be vented out
thru the attic. Sounds expensive and difficult. I understand the
ventless hoods are pretty useless.

Thanks for the advice!
